Back in the hospital.



Recommended Posts

So I started running 104.5 fever last night. My husband rushed me to the ER. Turns out I have a small leak. They have me on full IV liquids and strong antibiotics. Dr is hoping that will cure it. If not it's back to surgery. I knew something wasn't right. I have felt awful all week

I hate this!

I hope u feel better too, I'm hoping that I'm not running a temp as well... I'm 2 days post op and just out of the hospital this afternoon. So I'm monitoring myself.

I totally feel you. A week after I came home from a nine day post-op stay (I was diagnosed with a rare endocrine/kidney disorder so I had to stay a week extra to treat that) I was back in the hospital for a weekend with a severe kidney infection. I fought going to the ER because I had just spent over a week in the hospital and I was miserable and sick of it, but it turned out to be the best thing for me. When I left the hospital I finally felt better! It was worth the hospital stay just to feel somewhat normal again!

Good luck, and keep us posted!

I actually was moved to the ICU last night. I was in sepsis from the leak. It has become very dangerous now.

I'm so sorry. I was in the ICU for awhile too, during my first stay. I was upset at first, but I felt the move was a good thing after a bit because I never felt ignored, everybody was on top of my treatment and able to come help me the second I needed help. They also had access to medications the other hospital units didn't have, and they could order and perform procedures the other units couldn't (that's where I got my PICC line and hardcore antibiotics). I credit the ICU for getting me healthy enough to go home.

I'm sending lots of positive thoughts!

I just had a PICC line put in. It is so much better than the IVS. I had an IV in each arm since they were giving me so many antibiotics and fluids.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
